Pakistan has regained the status of the frontline state immediately after
the holocaust of 9/11 and adopted the both military and non-military based
counter terrorism strategy. The paper critically examines evolution, prospects and
implications of Pakistan’s counter terrorism efforts and analyzes inefficacy of
Pakistan’s counter terrorism policies during the period 2001-2013. Pakistan has
been worst terrorist hit state in the post 9/11 environment which sacrifices over
8500 military and almost 40000 civilian lives. Along with that Pakistan has to face
a bounce back reaction of its military operations against the home grown and
international terrorists i.e. religious extremism, insurgency, cross border
infiltration, affluent terrorist attacks on military and public centers and a terrible
series of suicidal attacks. Pakistan faces the after effects of its ineffective counter
terrorism strategy in the context of domestic, regional and international security
reservations. Although Pakistan has initiated several military operations to root
out the sanctuaries of Taliban and al-Qaeda but yet could not satisfy the United
States and international community due to lacking of intangible scheme plan,
incident to incident counter approach, much focus on negotiation and cease fire,
discrimination between bad and good Taliban, sympathetic policy towards home
grown terrorist organizations, vulnerable internal security and inconclusive
military operations. Pakistan direly needs substantial overhauling policy, a strong
national consensus on WOT, balance in civil-military relations in the context of
decision making and identification of enemy while fighting against extremism,
militancy and terrorism.
